A member asked:
13 weeks preg, using at home doppler, heartbeat sounds normal at one spot but then sounds like its thudding hard, something wrong with the baby?

No: VARIATIONS in sound are related to POSITION and the amount of Uterine FLUID in between the probe and the fetus! Hope this is helpful Dr Z BTW "Fetal distress is characterized by alteration in heart RATE NOT the volume of the sound!
